Taylor, Trinity, and Hal all dropped by our place last Friday night. We played a bit of Rockband. It was fantastic. Here’s some video.

Learn How To Drive!
It puzzles me, on a daily basis, how poorly people drive. There are a lot of reasons why people drive badly. One of those reasons, is ignorance. Well, I don’t think that’s a good enough reason to drive like an dumbass. So I’m posting the Florida Drivers Handbook here for all to review.
There will be a test…
Camping in Ginnie Springs
Melissa and I headed to Gainesville this weekend for some camping in Ginnie Springs. Ginnie Springs is a campground about a half our out of Gainesville. It’s a sizable camping ground situated to the south of the Sante Fe River and the springs surrounding it. Anyways, we were meeting Melissa’s sister, Megan and a bunch of their friends out there for a good ‘ol outdoor party.
We almost didn’t go. It took us about 2 hours to get to the area, where we quickly got lost. After about a half hour figuring out where we were supposed to go, we made another 15 minute trip to the campgrounds. When we got there, we were alarmed by a massive line to get into the campgrounds.

Check For Valid Email With Telnet
Often, I get asked by folks why an e-mail didn’t reach someone. People get an email that has some cryptic message about why their email didn’t reach it’s intended recipient. While there are an untold number of reasons as to why that could happen, there are a few things you can do to narrow down why it failed.
Regardless, the first thing I always do, is check that the email address is valid. It might sound funny, but just like that hot girl might have given you a phony number, you might have the wrong email address. This happens a lot more often then you might think.
So, how do you check the email? Enter Telnet to the rescue. Don’t worry, Telnet is cross platform. If you have Linux, Mac, or Windows (geez), you can use Telnet to figure out if the e-mail address you’re trying to reach is valid. It’s one of the few things that seem to work on damn near any operating system you can think of.
Google Saves E-Mail!
I use email a lot. I’m sure many of you do as well. So why not have a super-safe way to keep all of your email (from as many accounts as you might have) in one place, and get some virus protection to boot?
Sound too good to be true? It’s available to you right now. Thanks god, errr…. google…..
Get Google To Store All Your Email
First, login to gmail (yeah, you have to login first :/ ). Next, find the ‘Settings’ link in the top right of your browser. Continue reading
Up And Went WordPress
So, I had to rebuild my site lately. I’d heard a lot about the new version of WordPress lately. No my site is on wordpress.
For a while, I’ve heckled folks who keep their blogs on wordpress. I guess I really shouldn’t have, since it really is an awesome tool. It’s lightweight, quick, and gets the job done with super-ease.
I’ve settled on a pretty minimalistic, if not Gator-esque theme for the site. I don’t want people to have any sort of hassle to see what I’ve got to say, so I elected to not add too much to this.
Anyways, I just thought I’d say something about it…
